The Cambodian Food and Service Workers’ Federation has a newly elected President – a woman who was formerly herself a beer promotions worker. Listeners might recall the major campaign run back in 2016, in defence of women in teh beer promotions industry in Cambodia – this is where women are required to encourage tourists in night clubs to keep drinking, and are compelled to drink themselves, putting them in very dangerous situations.The Cambodian Food and Service Workers’ Federation represents workers across a very broad range of industries from beer promotions, to karaoke workers, to workers at Chevron. This newly elected president is Ou Tep Phallin, and she was in Australia in March this year as a guest of APHEDA and the International Food Workers Union.
